oh ... i did not get this before. Sorry. I was confused with all the range of spawn* offer ...

Me neither. ;)

yes i think i have read like thousand times the Python help files about spawn* and that last paragraph never went into my head.

I just wonder: Wouldn't "os.system" work as well? It's what I normally use to start processes from Python, but I'm on Linux...

os.system(' "C:\Program Files\pd\bin\pd.exe" -nogui mypatch.pd ') it does work, but as far as i understand pd and python cannot run on parallel with this system, pd has to quit for python to get control again and keep running. At least this happened in my tests but i dont know much about system commands and stuff like that, so there might be a way.

cheers
